      Hi,

      running a raspi 3 with raspbian

      pi@pi:~ $ uname -a
      Linux pi 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

      Have updated the system to latest status but I still have lots of stability issues with the gateway.

      I build it with

      ...

      git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch development
      cd MySensors/
      ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24
      make
      cd MySensors/bin/
      sudo ./mysgw -d

      ...

      It works but very very unstable - if new sensor come online the gateway goes down with a segmentation fault.

      Its basically not usable. As mysensors have such a great reputation plus I already placed lots of sensors in my place - how I can get a mqtt gateway stable? What version? maybe some configure switches I forgot.

      I tried different pi's, different NRF24L01 modules, they have an extra capacitor etc.

      I really get frustrated and I can not believe its that unstable, so there must be something I must do wrong.

      Who has run it on a pi with out issues?

      Many thanks!
      Regards
      Joerg

      @alterfritz the troubleshooting instructions in https://forum.mysensors.org/post/82711 could give valuable input regarding the raspberry pi gateway.

        @alterfritz that's not what I was asking about. See the text I quoted.

                  @alterfritz thanks. Now we know where in the code the crash occurs. Hopefully @marceloaqno can figure out what's wrong. I'll take a look as well, but I am not familiar with that code so I am not sure I will understand it.

                    Thanks a lot. Looking forward to any update... have a nice weekend, I will try the version for ESP8266 in the meantime, however run it on the pi would be preferred.

                    Thanks again!

                      Just to let you know - I have uploaded the ESP8266 sketch (from 2.1.1) via Arduino IDE, seems to run stable with the same NRF24L01 module.

                      But if possible I would like to go back to have all run on the raspi.

                      Again thanks for all that support here!

                        @alterfritz I've prepared a PR that should fix the segmentation fault: https://github.com/tekka007/MySensors/tree/nullptr - can you test this PR?
